Find direction of the DEG

We find direction of the DEG by calculating the area between curves (ABC) for branch-dependent genes by adapting the monocle package function calABCs. Genes specific ABC is computed on smoothed expression value over 100 points along the pseudotime

Smooth gene expression along pseudotime

}

new_data = do.call(rbind, new_data)

# Smooth gene expression
